Even you screwed it up. The question was not what studio produces a show but what network broadcast it.
Because studios and networks are required to be legally distinct, it is completely reasonable the the studio of one parent company produces a show that is shown on the network on another. E.G. Scrubs was produces by ABC studios but shown on the NBC network through season 7. This can create some perverse incentives since the studio reaps royalties from syndication, DVDs, streaming, etc.
In some cases the studio's parent has no network. For example _Dark Matter_, despite being advertised as a "Syfy Original" is produced by Prodigy Pictures and Dark Horse Entertainment, which have no network. (Also contrary to popular claims _Dark Matter_ is not produced by Space, theCanadian science fiction network, either. Space does not produce any scripted drama.)
"argue that these messages should not qualify as calls and, therefore, should be exempt from consumer protection laws that ban similar types of telephone marketing"
Correct, they should be classified as harassment. And since it's done over the telephone and likely come from out of state, the FBI has jurisdiction.
gurps_nps is not claiming that the title is false, but rather that it is weakly descriptive of the story.
If the title were "Isaac Choi is the founder and CEO of WrkRiot" that would also be true, but even less descriptive of what happened.
At title that states that Choi committed wire fraud on the payroll contains enough information to let the reader know that people didn't get paid, the mechanism by which that happened, that it was a crime, and that the employees have standing to seek civil redress from Choi. Using "tricked" leave the reader wondering if the outcome is "too bad; so sad".

I wonder how the assumption came into being that this was generosity rather than the self-interest of an actual capitalist in maintaining the productivity of their workforce so that they can reap the profits.
It goes to show you that most businessmen aren't actually capitalists. A capitalist should be working to maximize their profits, but instead these guys are getting distracted by minimizing the profits of others.
"they're much more uncomfortable with paying 5% more for stuff. Especially when they're getting paid less and less just like everybody else... "
They'd be making more if they maintained the productivity of their workforce. Someone who doesn't believe in productivity doesn't believe in capitalism.
You can't shame a businessman by calling him a capitalist, but you can shame him by calling him bad at capitalism.
"I'm interested as why your governments don't intervene for workers rights more in the USA."
One of the principals in labor law in the USA is that worker conditions are better left to unions and management to negotiate a locally preferable standard rather than have a one-size-fits-all solution imposed from the top down. Of course, the same people that promote that then turn around and undermine unionization.
"passengers storing their bags above rows 1-10 wouldn't block passengers who want to get to rows 11-30"
If you board rows 11-30 first, then they are the ones storing their bags over rows 1-10 and you get the delays of the people in rows 1-10 having to go to the back of the plane to find someplace to put their bags.

Most network content has a channel bug that stays in the corner for the entire show.

AAPL: 5% off split adjusted all-time high, set less than 1 month ago
AMZN: 3.8% off split adjusted all-time high, set less than a week ago
FB: 4% off split adjusted all-time high, set same day
GOOGL: 3.8% off split adjusted all-time high, set less than a week ago
MSFT: 3.5% off split adjusted all-time high, set less than a week ago
No drop more than 5% and four of five set new all-time highs this week. What part of this does not look like profit-taking?
People screening their calls use voicemail. I don't answer the phone unless it is a number that I know or I am expecting a call from someone else.
Texting is no better because it is still an interrupt. Voicemail, like email, will wait until I poll it.
I don't have voicemail on my landline as I have an answering machine, but there is an voicemail indicator on my phone that still goes on.

Words mean things.
I was notified of this change the day my previous subscription ran out.
But also, account for the cost of traveling to do the swap *including the cost of your time*.
And the data is still stale.

Is there any reason why, when posing a question about currency, you would not ask ANY macroeconomists?
"As an 'expert' he doesn't seem particularly knowledgeable."
That's because Peter Shiff isn't an economist, he's a stockbroker.

The printout itself was not exfiltrated. It was re-scanned and emailed.

The same thing that makes you think you can trust a domestic vendor. ;-)

Oppressing the proles is inefficient.

If they could yet did not, isn't that justification for a critic to give it a bad score, even (especially) if grading on a per-genre curve?
